Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches E. Great Lakes Intake Questions for the Locals

I want to get a new intake set-up for my contour, I've went a million and a half places around the westland, livonia area trying to find an intake kit for the tour' The fag at first class auto was trying to sell me some BS ...APC intake kit for like $79.99, I told him that i wanted an adaptor to make the contour have an open element air filter and he was like i dont know if thats possible, and i was like bs, i know lots of people that have it done. Please help. I just want a nice intake kit with, like a k an n filter or something. someone just tell me what to order.

thanks, Bryan

stay clear of first class auto. When I wanted to lift my truck, they wanted to lift it using blocks. I had to explain to them that my applictaion is a spring under axle suspension and blocks would lower the truck, not lift it

that being said, I have no other advice lol

no advice other than to add to the "don't go to no-class auto". ever.

Yea FCA is gone way down. There horrible now. They use to be the svt contour gurus of the area(As far as shops go). Back before I had my svt there was two guys that work there that had svt's, and I use to go in there and talk about them(when I was considerng buying). They were some of the first that I saw that had true duals, and another time they were installing a Vortech on a silver svt w/ blue stripes. This was all in 98-99. I have not seen those guys around since, and always wondered if they trolled over here. I beleive one of them directed me this way(ceg). Anyone no who I am talking about. They were pretty responsible for me purchasing my car, wether they knew it or not. They worked @ the Livonia store, one guy's name was Mark. Just reminiscing

BAT sells the MAF adapter you need and the big 8 or 9" K&N to go with it can be purchased at Ramchargers. I paid about $35.00-$40.00 for the MAF adapter and another $45.00 for the 9" K&N, which BTW is the largest size filter you can put on the Tour when putting it in the original location. The only thing you gotta do is remove that little duct in the fenderwell to achieve the fitment of the 9" K&N Good luck!

Thanks everyone called BAT today and ordered the MAF adapter and a set of amber side markers.

just be sure you make a heatshield for it.

you don't even need an adapter, on a CSVT, you can take the filter cover, and just cut it down to just a ring that holds the filter on. Add a heatshield to make a proper large airbox and its all good.
